Did ‘Kempton Park Serial Killer’ move to Potch? Police speak out
Acting Provincial Commissioner Major General Ryno Naidoo called for calm and responsibility.
North West police have rejected rumors that the alleged "Kempton Park Serial Killer" has moved to Potchefstroom, urging the public to refrain from spreading unverified information that could cause panic and waste resources. Colonel Adéle Myburgh, a police spokesperson, stated that there is no official report or complaint to back up these claims.
These claims include a supposed relocation of a suspect, an incident near Bult, and the use of drones or specialized units. Myburgh clarified that the police are aware of ongoing investigations into the deaths of women in Kempton Park but warned that the presence of these investigations alone does not prove a suspect has moved to Potchefstroom.
Major General Ryno Naidoo, the Acting Provincial Commissioner, also called for calm and cautioned the community against circulating unverified information, which can cause unnecessary alarm. He advised residents to take standard safety measures, especially during nighttime, such as avoiding walking alone, choosing well-lit routes, and staying aware of their surroundings.
Anyone with credible information about criminal activity should report it directly to the police rather than attempting to investigate or confront suspects themselves. Emergency situations can be reported to 10111, while Crime Stop 08600 10111 remains an option for anonymous tips. Naidoo emphasized that safety is a shared responsibility and that spreading rumors can undermine the security efforts of the police.
